700 films
Posted on August 2, 2010
There’s no Review Haiku today. However, if you’re really interested, you can hop over gottahavacuppamocha.mobi, where Review Haiku continues daily. The haiku over there aren’t new – they’re reruns, in a sense – but if you want a daily Review Haiku, that’s the way to go for now.
Still, on this site, there’s no Review Haiku today. It was bound to happen at one point or another. I usually watch 3 – 4 movies a week, so it’s hard too keep up a pace of daily Review Haiku. I’ve been able to stretch it a bit, but I’ve come to a good stopping point. It’s more like an intermission. The haiku will continue in the future, but this is a good time for a break.
As of yesterday, this site has 700 entries of Review Haiku. That’s quite a few. Since there will be no new haiku for awhile, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at some statistics regarding Review Haiku.
First off is the 700 entries. Almost all of these were DVDs from Netflix. Most of these were movies – the archetypical cinematic stories of the silver screen. A few were “concert films,” which sort of stretches the definition of “movies”. Some were television series or specials, proving that even the boob tube has some worthwhile stories on occasion.
As an aside, television series sort of stymied me at first. The Wallace and Gromit shorts were each around 30 minutes long, but I did a Review Haiku for each one. For most of the television series I watched, the individual shows were longer than 30 minutes, yet I only did one Review Haiku per series. I’m not sure why. I thought about doing different Review haiku for different seasons, but didn’t. Again, I’m not sure why.
Also, for the entries tagged “television,” sometimes television was part of the topic, rather than the medium of distribution.
Tomorrow, I’ll get into the more straightforward statistics.

Whoa! 700 movies, do you have a favorite?
I don’t have a favorite film. There are a lot of really good films and several excellent films, so it’s hard to choose a favorite. If we get into genres, I’ve always thought of The Blues Brothers as my favorite comedy and Blade Runner as my favorite sci-fi film.
